...if he would have cracked the starting lineup.
If anything, Luke Talich has proven himself too good to stay on the bench, and we have some highly talented and hungry true freshmen at the S position.
That, plus Joey O'Brien coming in next year, along with Ayden Pouncey, would have made it more difficult for Urlacher to crack the 2-deep.
Don't get me wrong. I want him to succeed (except against us), and hope that he can truly find his niche at USC, and become the star I think he can be.
It's just that we have quite a nice current and future roster when it comes to the S position, and I want the best man to start.
I wish he would have stayed, but seeing how our guys have developed, I'm not sure...
